Charice at Oscar’s Afterparty
Charice Pempengco is not a diva in the making.  She is undoubtedly and without a question a diva herself.  From humble beginning of joining local amateur singing contest, to her stints in local TV talent, this Philippine pride is now literally at Hollywood’s door.  Before, I was apprehensive to write this article because I thought it would be premature and assuming but seeing Charice performs at the Oscar’s After Party erases all my apprehensions and doubt.  Charice has indeed the marks of a world class artist.
Her performance in the Oscar’s Afterparty set another milestone in her career.  She is literally at the door of the Hollywood, in fact Charice was recognized as one of the “shinning stars of 2009” together with the Academy Best Actress Kate Winslet, Robert Pattinson and George Clooney by Liz Smith in Fox News’ Lips & Ears.
I watched the her performance in the Oscar’s Afterparty where she sang her own version of I Will Survive, Listen and did the demo of her brand new song Fingerprint.   According to some showbiz buzz, Fingerprint will be the carrier single of her first international album under Warner Music with the guidance of a well-known star maker and producer David Foster.
The girl is simply brilliant; a dynamite of a talent packed in a small package.  I would like to quote the introduction made by David Foster during the Oscar’s Afterparty.
“She’s 16 years old. She is one of the most amazing talents you’ll ever ever see and you’ll gonna see history tonight because one year from now this girl is gonna be one of the biggest stars on the planet. GUARANTEED 100%. Please give it up from the Philippines, Charice! Here she is, Charice!”
It is really amazing to see a purely Pinoy world class talent being recognized by the world.  I really hope people back home would stop pulling the girl down by being silly in comparing Charice with Sarah and Regine.  To be honest, Sarah and Regine did not come close to what Charice is achieving right now and to be achieved in the future.  They are both (Sarah and Regine) are good singers but they don’t have the X factor and talent that could gain the attention of international audience.  I want to apologize to fans of Sarah and Regine, but this is the truth and you have to simply accept that.
A special thanks for Parakaycha for uploading the video.
